It may in Kansas and Iowa from what I hear. If there is a tidal surge of two feet, being up three feet is certainly nice.
I know a Hawkeye who knew some college students in Iowa with high tech gear and compared the surface variation in a pancake with that of Iowa.
Iowa, it turns out, is actually flatter than a pancake.
Iowa generally slopes down from the north and west to the southeast, falling a thousand feet in a few hundred miles.
Average elevation is also around 1000 feet.
Iowa is indeed flatter and lower than Kansas or Nebraska, but doesn’t come close to as flat as Florida.
